Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Update on Sláintecare: Department of Health
Ms Laura Magahy:
Absolutely. I just meant we were not going out into the hospitals or meeting them in communities during the pandemic.
There are to be two major trauma centres and we know the Government recently decided on that. This will require substantial investment and that is in line with the policy outlined by the trauma review. That is the policy that is being followed and invested in, which is good news.
We require more residential care but, again, there has been investment through the national development plan for residential placements. We can come back with the detail of where that is happening or being proposed.
